The Ten Tips

1.Make a committment to tell the truth.

Making the committment ton tell the truth may be hard for some of 

2.Tell someone about your commitment

This is a good tip because if you tell someone about being committed towards something. Then that one person will keep you on check.For example , if you tell them that you are committed to not eating any junk food.That person will get upset at you for seeing you doing something that you cmmitted not to do.I would really encourage you to this tip.It is a great way to keep yourself on track for your committment.It is important for someone to have your back and push you to one of your committments.

3. Think before you give a dishonest answer.

Thinking before giving a dishonest annswer is very simple . If it isn't something nice you don't say it.Also this third tip is simply telling us that don't give an answer that isn't true .For example if the teacher asks if you get the class work and you say yes . What is going to happen when she gives you your homework.So now you were dishonest with the teacher and now you arent being capable of doing that homework.The next day when the homework is due your going to go into class with an empty face.So therefore you now know to think before giving an dishonest answer! 

4.Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration , sarcasm or irony

Being aware of your exaggeration , sarcasm or irony is a great step on leading you forward to becoming a more truthful person for yourself.You must be aware about what you say before you actually know what you are about to say . It may lead back and bite you in your face.Its best if you just keep it simple and honest rather than being complicated and being over-exaggerated.

5.Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out park of it,

One think that you should never do is be okay with saying a little lie thinking that it wasnt going to hurt you in the future.Saying a little white lie may lead you to believe that it isn't big of a deal , but if you continue to say many of those little lies it can lead to a huge lie and a huge problem.

7.Watch out for silent lies .

Being aware for silent lies means that you are 

8.When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.

When certain people lie they feel no wrong in doing a lie . Others may just simply may be upset at themselves for a quick second and not fix there issue. Which is why they often tend to lie more often . When different people lie they get mad at themselves and make a commitment to not lying ever again which they force themselves not to do this horrible doing ever again.These are the people that you do your best with . The people that often try and learn from there mistakes become successful.
